The Brainworx team didn't stop after finishing this pristine emulation from the ground up. Its remarkably quick attack time, flexible release, four ratios and multi-button modes allow the MC77 to deliver everything from well mannered and transparent dynamics to full-on brick wall stopping power.

The MC77 employs Field Effect Transistor (FET) technology for gain reduction allowing for large amounts of limiting without introducing severe distortion. From there, impeccable high-performance components were used to match the unit to the original, while adding modern features to its all-discrete signal path. It all started with an exacting recreation of the “E” revision of one of the most iconic solid-state limiting amplifiers of all time.

How do you take a legendary compressor like the 1176 and not only do it justice, but improve on it? This was the vision behind the MC77, created by Purple Audio in the late nineties. With the MC77 you have access to the same unrivaled tone and lightning-fast response as the original 1176, with the added bonus of onboard sidechaining, stereo linking, and more. Terrific on bass guitars, kicks, vocals, parallel processing, buses and more, the 1176 is one of the most iconic limiters of all time for good reason. This plugin is included in our MEGA, MIX & MASTER, and ESSENTIAL bundles at no extra cost!
